During the webinar we discussed the key concept of ‘Separating SELF from CRAFT’ How can we develop the capability to create some space between our capability as a golfer and our self image as a human being How being ‘concerned’ about our value as a human is tied to our evolutionary development The early messages we receive as youngsters from important people around us and how this can weave into our identity The need to develop a ‘SAFE PLACE’ to play from How our performance can become a THREAT to our identity How this leads to unstable confidence Why your relationship to the game can become so toxic The necessity to ask yourself the question ‘Why do I play golf?’ Not to take your initial answer but to look deeper to what is REALLY important to you What are your INTRINSIC and SELF DIRECTED values to play the game? Challenging your core BELIEFS to see if they REALLY work for you The fragility of EXTRINSIC values and why you can never ‘get enough’ The need to JOURNAL your experiences and why that is so important What am I committed to TODAY? Think about WHY you play golf WHEN you play golf Being INTENTIONAL and on purpose This is a wonderful session with Raymond and Karl as they go into some real detail as to how to get the very best from your game Take ACTION and get yourself a copy of the stable confidence program BUILDING STABLE CONFIDENCE – THE NEW PROGRAM To get your copy of the brand new program with Raymond Prior and Karl Morris It will truly make a BIG difference to your development  Link to buy: Building Stable Confidence                

 Today on the Brain Booster we are joined by an extraordinarily special guest Dr Ellen Langer Dr Langer has been one of the most influential people in the world of psychology over the past 40 years She was the first female tenured professor in psychology at Harvard Has written numerous books She has conducted so many incredible experiments, most notably the ‘counterclockwise’ experiment where she had older men go into a ‘pod’ that took them back to their younger selves. The results as we find out today were extraordinary She has been studying Mindfulness for the past 35 years and makes clear that mindfulness is NOT meditation Mindfulness is being aware of what is ACTUALLY happening as opposed to what we think is happening based on our auto pilot responses Why we need to realise that we DON’T know How our assumptions keep constantly tricking us How research only gives us PROBABILITIES not absolutes The ‘counterclockwise’ study and the amazing possibilities that open up Is ageing a direct consequence of our beliefs surrounding what we believe SHOULD be happening? Can we think ourselves WELL? Can we think ourselves SICK?

Are you going to join us on YOUR path to Mastery? The Lost Art of Golf 2 day school at Archerfield Links with Karl Morris and Gary Nicol  The ULTIMATE interactive learning experience at the ULTIMATE location Today a slightly different show with a solo effort from myself. I have had a few people ask me recently to clarify some of the key ideas from the Mind factor trainings so here we go. What path are you ACTUALLY on? Could you embark on a ‘path to mastery’ as opposed to being on a path of fear, anxiety and avoidance? Become a Mind Factor Coach - Early Bird Offer 2024 Mind Factor Certification Course  What game are you ACTUALLY playing? How is the game of golf occurring for you? Are you allowing golf to be a judgement on your VALUE as a person? Does the golf course appear as a threat or an opportunity? How can you change your ‘story’? A story that is holding you back What do you want to really experience with your game? Understanding what TRUE GRATITUDE actually is Why gratitude is a PERFORMANCE state In this short session we explore some really important territory and ask some question that are not ordinarily asked of golfers.

He has an incredible background in his coaching development over many years looking into all areas of the Mind Body connection Become a Mind Factor Coach - Early Bird Offer 2024 Mind Factor Certification Course  We discussed in great detail perhaps the most overlooked opportunity to improve your game. The 90% of golf that isn’t golf!! We spend so much of our golfing time NOT playing golf and yet how many golfers really look into what is happening during this time and HOW they can maximise their experience? I have long contended that the quality of what you do in the 90% will have a DIRECT influence on what you do when it comes to play your shots. We discussed: The value of being EXTERNAL in between shots Making a conscious decision to connect with the beauty of the golf course Connecting and coming to your SENSES The connection with the ‘Power of NOW’ Losing your absorption in your own SELF Connecting with other people and how this can cross over into your life Your behaviour in between shots and how this becomes totally unconscious The pace of you walk and the ‘Mind Body’ connection The danger of focusing too much on OUTCOMES How tuning into your external world helps you LISTEN to the golf course. Being attuned to your ENVIRONMENT and then being able to RESPOND to that environment The value of good conversation and being WIDE with your focus The feeling of ‘lightness’ and how that can help you get into the shot Moe Norman and ‘positive indifference’ Random reinforcement syndrome – what is it and why do we fall into its trap It is such a pleasure to speak to Jim He has such a wonderful INTENTION to help golfers You can only benefit from is wonderful wisdom.
